Sources: 7. Developments: 2. Educational and nutritional resource management in Jammu and Kashmir has undergone recent shifts in scale and funding. Initial reports indicated that 17,954 government schools in Jammu and Kashmir and 775 schools in Ladakh were participating in the PM-POSHAN midday meal scheme. Data also highlighted a digital divide, noting that only a minority of operational schools in Jammu and Kashmir possessed smart classrooms, computer facilities, or internet connectivity. Subsequent data presented to the Lok Sabha showed a downward trend in resource allocations. The foodgrain allocation for the PM-POSHAN scheme for 2025-26 was set at 21,924.79 metric tonnes, a 2.5 per cent decrease from the previous year. Additionally, funding for elementary education under the Samagra Shiksha scheme saw a significant reduction, falling to Rs 633.53 crore for 2026-27, which represents a nearly 38 per cent decline from the Rs 1,017.75 crore sanctioned for 2025-26. The Ministry of Education attributed these changes to factors including approved annual plans, expenditure levels, and unspent balances from previous years. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-10: Jammu and Kashmir sees declines in education and foodgrain allocations Jammu and Kashmir faces reductions in central allocations, with foodgrain supplies for PM-POSHAN dropping 2.5 per cent and elementary education funding under Samagra Shiksha falling by nearly 38 per cent. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jammu-and-kashmir-sees-declines-in-education-and-foodgrain-allocations ### 2026-08-03: Jammu and Kashmir Schools Serve 17,954 Midday Meals Under PM-POSHAN Jammu and Kashmir has 17,954 schools serving PM‑POSHAN meals, but only 3,066 of its 24,228 schools have smart classrooms, highlighting a digital divide despite increased teacher training and funding. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jammu-and-kashmir-schools-serve-17954-midday-meals-under-pm-poshan --- Cite as: Jammu and Kashmir education and nutrition resource trends.
